Tarde O Temprano (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro sets the tone of the song by asking a simple yet powerful question: “Do you think about me?” It’s a moment of vulnerability, wondering if the other person feels the same lingering thoughts. The repeated “na-na” phrases create a sense of uncertainty, like the singer is trying to fill the silence with something, anything, just to avoid facing the emptiness.

[Pre-Chorus]
In the pre-chorus, the singer acknowledges that both of them have been hurt before, and they’re each dealing with their pain in their own way. Despite this, there’s a glimmer of hope that being together might ease the pain, even if they have to pretend or play roles to make it work. It’s a bittersweet compromise—if he can make her smile, she’ll pretend to love him back. It’s about finding comfort in the little moments, even if they’re not entirely real.

[Chorus]
The chorus captures the internal conflict between the mind and the heart. The singer knows that this relationship isn’t right for them—his mind says “no,” but his heart can’t help but say “yes.” It’s a tug-of-war between logic and emotion, where the heart’s desire wins, even though he knows better.

[Verse]
In the verse, the singer reflects on the inevitability of parting ways. They’re heading in different directions—one to Madrid, the other to Monterrey—and once they leave, there will be nothing left of their connection. The singer didn’t even bother saving her number, knowing that they’ll never reach out again, but still, she’ll remain a lingering thought. The imagery of the green light on her face and the cigarette in her hand adds a sense of fleeting, intimate moments. Even though the sun has set and the clouds have gathered, indicating the end of something, the singer tries to find peace in the fact that they’re okay, at least for now.

[Pre-Chorus (Second Time)]
In the second pre-chorus, the singer revisits the idea of mutual pain and loneliness, but this time, there’s a deeper sense of longing. Both have been hurt and are alone, yet there’s a small hope that by being together, even under different names or roles, they might find some relief. The singer asks for a temporary escape from the inevitable goodbye, asking her to remember where to find him if she ever thinks of him. There’s a plea not to say goodbye, a wish to hold on to whatever connection they have, even if it’s just for a little longer.

[Chorus (Second Time)]
The chorus is repeated, reinforcing the internal struggle the singer faces. He knows she’s not right for him, but his heart won’t let go. The repetition emphasizes the ongoing battle between his head and his heart, with the heart persistently pulling him back towards her, despite knowing it’s not meant to be.

[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus is a plea to postpone the inevitable. The singer urges not to look out the window—metaphorically asking not to face reality just yet—and instead, let’s leave it for tomorrow. They listen to Rawayana, a band known for their soothing and chill vibes, using music as a temporary balm to heal the wounds. The repetition of this section reinforces the idea that time and music might eventually help them move on, but for now, they want to stay in this moment, delaying the pain of separation for as long as possible.
